Chapter 282: Ji Kongming changes his attitude as fast as turning the pages of a book

On the other side, in the palace, the room of the head of the family.

A middle-aged man with a beard looked at Wang Baoguo, his voice full of anxiety and expectation:

"Dad, did Immortal Ning contact you again? Did you ask him about Hong'er? He has already taken the missing list away for several hours!"

Wang Baoguo glanced at his haggard son. Due to the disappearance of his biological daughter, Weiguo had not slept well for several nights.

Wang Baoguo opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort his son, but in the end he just sighed deeply and sat down on the chair:

"Ning Shangxian didn't contact me again, but another immortal named Han told me not to have too high hopes because there is a high possibility that they are dead."

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Wang Weiguo couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and muttered to himself in a state of despair:

"My Hong'er is only eighteen this year, only eighteen years old! She still has a lot of good years ahead of her! I haven't seen her get married yet... Dad, tell me, this is not true, you heard it wrong, you heard it wrong... Woo woo!"

Wang Baoguo placed his old hands on Wang Weiguo's face and wiped away his son's tears with a distressed look: "Son, don't cry. Han Xianchang just said not to have too high expectations. Maybe..."

"Snapped!"

His words were suddenly interrupted, and Wang Weiguo slapped his hands away from his face. With red eyes, he looked at Wang Baoguo fiercely:

"It's all your fault. It's because of you, old man, that Hong'er died! Granny Ma was right. They are disaster stars. They are monsters! If you hadn't been so strong in suppressing the villagers, how could Hong'er and other women have been killed by them!?"

Wang Baoguo helplessly took back the hand that was slapped away: "How else do you want your father to tell you? They are not, no! They... are just two poor little girls."

"Oh, pitiful?" Wang Weiguo sneered: "Wang Baoguo, you've had enough! You are still pretending until now. If it weren't for the fact that you are my biological father, I would have complained to Ning Xianchang long ago."

Wang Baoguo frowned upon hearing this, stared at Wang Weiguo, and warned him, "You dare, Weiguo! If you dare to tell Ning Shangxian about them, I will pretend that I never had a son like you!"

"I don't dare, but do you think other villagers dare to do it?" Wang Weiguo asked back: "Dad, let me tell you the truth, you can deal with one Ma Po Po, but can you deal with thousands of Ma Po Po who lost their daughters? The answer is no!"

"Moreover, just an hour ago, a servant in the mansion told me that he saw Immortal Han asking about Granny Ma's madness on the street. What do you think is more serious than being expelled to Hong Town or deceiving the immortal?"

At this point, Wang Weiguo suddenly slapped himself hard: "Pa! Dad, I was unfilial for talking back to you just now. I'm punishing myself by slapping myself."

"But at the same time, I want to use this slap to wake you up. I know you have a relationship with Grandma Li from Cao Miao Village, but it's definitely not that kind of relationship. So you don't have to worry about Grandma Li's family anymore. You have done enough for her family over the years!"

"I'm not saying this to ask you to let Ning Shangxian kill them like Granny Ma did, but I know that you must be hiding something that no one else knows."

"Otherwise, how come our Wang family has been the mayor for generations? Otherwise, why does the Xuanyuan Dynasty across the sea send people here every few years? Otherwise, why does that person always look the same? She was like that when I was a child. More than 40 years have passed. You are now a grandfather, but she still looks the same."

Wang Baoguo's eyes widened: "Weiguo, what do you know? Did you sneak into the ancestral temple to read the clan records?"

Wang Weiguo shook his head and said, "I didn't peek. I guessed all this. Besides, don't you know best where the clan records are?"

"Originally I didn't want to tell you my guess, because I knew that Dad would tell me everything before he died, but now someone from Qingyun Immortal Sect has come, and it's Immortal Ning..."

After a pause, Wang Weiguo suddenly looked at Wang Baoguo and asked, "Dad, don't you think that Ning Shangxian looks a lot like the person in the portrait preserved in the ancestral temple?"

Without waiting for Wang Baoguo to reply, Wang Weiguo continued, "Of course, this is just my personal feeling. After all, the age of the portrait is hundreds of years older than the two of us combined."

"But I want to say that since someone who looks so similar has come, maybe this is God's will. Dad, you can say some of your words."

"Besides, Dad, there are some things that you and I, small mortals, cannot solve. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, mortals like us are just small ants."

"That's all I have to say, Dad. Have a good rest."

After saying that, Wang Weiguo left, leaving only Wang Baoguo, an old man, sitting alone in the room. He stared blankly at the flickering candlelight on the table. After an unknown amount of time, only the moonlight outside the window remained in the room. Suddenly, a regretful sigh rang out:

"It's all your own fault!"

......

East of Hongzhen.

In an inconspicuous house somewhere.

Ji Kongming looked at the master and servant in front of him with a scrutinizing look, "Tell me about your specific origins, and the meaning of what you said at the entrance of the town today. What did you mean by not contradicting that Jindan boy if you don't want to die?"

Liu Ruyan replied truthfully: "Mr. Kong Ming, I am the saint of this year's Hehuan Sect, my name is Liu Ruyan. As for the girl next to me, she is my personal maid, her name is Jin Pin'er."

"The Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect." Upon hearing this, Ji Kongming looked Liu Ruyan up and down for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he smiled and nodded:

"Not bad, not bad. Li Xiu has finally straightened his eyes. The saints we selected before were all ugly and ugly. We were laughed at by the orthodox church many times."

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly: "Thank you Mr. Kong Ming for your compliment."

Ji Kongming waved his hand and said, "I am just telling the truth. Your face and figure are there. I believe the Queen will be very satisfied when she sees you."

After saying that, Ji Kongming turned to look at Jin Pin'er and frowned slightly: "Last name Jin?"

Without waiting for Jin Pin'er to reply, Ji Kongming suddenly raised his right hand and tapped the other four fingers with his thumb:

"You are from the Southern Ming Territory, the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and the Jin family. Are you the descendant of Jin Yuzhong?"

Jin Pin'er was surprised and asked, "You know my great-grandfather?"

Ji Kongming nodded: "I have seen him once five hundred years ago. This guy is really like his name, Yu Zhong, Yu Zhong, foolishly loyal. In the end, he caused his descendants to flee to the East Desert."

Jin Pin'er said hopefully, "Master Military Advisor, you can tell me about my great-grandfather. My grandmother never told me about the past."

"It's better for you not to know." Ji Kongming ignored her and turned his gaze to Liu Ruyan again:

"You haven't answered my last question yet, Saint Lady Liu."

Liu Ruyan continued, "It's like this, Mr. Kong Ming, the head of the sect received an order from the Queen to use the beauty trap on Ning Changge, so the scene at the entrance of the town during the day happened."

Ji Kongming asked in confusion: "Ning Changge? Who is Ning Changge?"

Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly. She was very curious about what expression Ji Kongming would show after hearing what she said. Would it be complicated? Regret? Or bewildered?

"That's the Jindan kid you mentioned."

Ji Kongming snorted coldly: "A Jindan kid actually wants to seduce the Saint of my Holy Church. Who can come up with such a bad idea? If the righteous side knew about this, wouldn't they be laughed to death!"

"No, when I return, I will ask Her Majesty to severely punish this guy who came up with such bad ideas. He has brought shame to our Holy Church!"

Liu Ruyan didn't expect Ji Kongming to react like this. Didn't he know who Ning Changge was?

"Um, Mr. Kong Ming, I'd like to ask you, do you know who Ning Changge is?"

Ji Kongming waved his hand, his face full of disdain: "I don't care who he is, a mere golden elixir, asking you to use the beauty trap on him is like sticking flowers in cow dung."

"Forget it, I think you shouldn't stay here any longer. Come back with me. This town is about to be hit by a disaster. The sooner you leave, the sooner you can save your life."

Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Kong Ming, if I go back now, Ning Changge will definitely guess that everything he did before was just a trick. If he gets angry and goes to the Hehuan Sect, I'll be in trouble. I can't beat him."

Ji Kongming was puzzled and asked, "He is a Jindan and you are a Yuanying. Aren't you going to pin him down and beat him?"

Liu Ruyan: "But his master is Shi Qingyi! The Tianji Monthly Report says that she is the strongest person in the Nine Realms. What if he takes out his anger on his master?"

Ji Kongming: "Ahem... Who do you think his master is?"

Liu Ruyan: "If I remember correctly the information given by Her Majesty the Queen, it should be the head of Qingyun Immortal Sect, Qiongming Peak."

Ji Kongming: "......"

Liu Ruyan: "Master Military Advisor?"

Ji Kongming: "......"

The house was quiet for a long time.

Just when Liu Ruyan almost thought that Ji Kongming didn't even know who Shi Qingyi was, his voice rang out:

"Liu Ruyan, from what you just said, you have already established a relationship with Ning Changge?"

How could Mr. Kong Ming's thoughts jump out so much... Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:

"We got together. Before I left, I asked Pin'er to say something to him, and then I waited for him to come find me."

Ji Kongming: "Very good! Keep it up. The tasks assigned by the Queen must be completed conscientiously!"

"???"

A series of question marks appeared on Liu Ruyan's forehead: "Master Military Advisor, didn't you just ask me to go back with you, and you also said that I was holding a flower..."

Ji Kongming interrupted, "What military advisor? My name is Ji Kongming. How could you even get the name of the third in command of the Holy Church wrong?"

"Also, you misunderstood. What I said was that Ning Changge is a flower and you are the cow dung. Ning Changge's handsome face is not an exaggeration to be the queen's husband."

"Forget it. You won't understand what I'm saying to a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like you. I'm leaving now. You better complete the Queen's mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old Taoist turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

Jin Pin'er, who was standing by, was stunned as she looked at Ji Kongming, who changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. "Is this still our Saint Church's military advisor? This is too realistic."

Liu Ruyan couldn't hold back her laughter any longer after hearing this. She leaned on Jin Pin'er and giggled, making a goose-like sound:

""Geese, geese, geese~" I can't take it anymore, Pin'er! I almost thought that Mr. Kong Ming didn't even read the Tianji Monthly Report."

......

Outside the house separated by a wall.

Ji Kongming wiped the cold sweat from his head with a white cloth with the words "Divine Calculation" written on it.

"Damn it, I didn't expect it to be Shi Qingyi's apprentice. I was wondering why Her Majesty the Queen sent out the Saint!"

"Wait, if that White-Haired Girl finds out that we are planning to take advantage of her apprentice, she will definitely tear down the signboard of the Heavenly Demon Cult!"

Thinking of this, Ji Kongming couldn't help but shudder, and even couldn't speak clearly: "Who the hell came up with this stupid idea? They didn't even read the Tianji Monthly Report!"
